Tennat in our new (1 yr old) IP in SEQ reported some water leaking in the ceiling.
Investigation revealed many broken roof tiles, and thought to be broken by the builders (et al). Unfortuanetly builder is in liquidation
We originally had a temporary repair with silicon, whilst we submit a claim under builders insurance to BSA. We sent claim in to bSA last week.
However it turns out tepmporary repairs not working and new investigation reveals 45 tiles needing urgent repair. Cost is $920.
Ceiling is of course also damaged from leak.
REA advises soemtimes it takes BSA to approve claims, and I can't wait that long to have tiles repaired.
We are thinking that we should just get tiles fixed, pay it ourselves, and submit a claim to insurance co to cover. Do have a concern though that the insurance co may not pay the claim and say it's for BSA to cover it.
Any comments/suggestions?
